Winter 2010

It is SO wet in the garden, and cold, very little is growing.  
The herb garden has parsley going wild, lemon grass dying and pretty much everything else is dormant.





Bed One: Unbelievably the capsicums and chillies have fruited all winter, although the fruit has got smaller as winter has gone on. The enormous plants in the front are beetroot, no idea what they are like under the soil, woody is my guess.





Bed Three: Current compost heap, a couple of self sown garlic plants, some silverbeet, beetroot and stunted celery.





Bed Four, previous compost heap, composting nicely, some overblown kale... pretty flowers though.





Bed Two: The one respectable bed in the garden, broccolli and brussel sprouts, lettuce, garlic, leek and onions.










The lemons were huge and dry, the apricot flowered before we pruned and sprayed it so I don't have high hopes for a good fruiting season.
